washing machine wont spin?

hi,i have a simson enduro 725 automatic washing machine my problem is when the spin cycle is activated the motor tries to start ,then stops,then starts [continuously]. this is with no load [clothes or water].the same motor also washes [forward,reverse] with no problems.capacitor checks out ok.is it single wound motor doing both spin and wash[i have no diagram].are we looking at wash setting controller,orforward/reverse electronic control module or none of these.am an electrician but automatic washers are not my strong point can someone please assist thank you

check the carbon brushes in the motor they are probably worn down you will need to buy a new set
